[pilot-db-list] Scripts, dates etc.

[Stephan H. <ste...@gm...>]

Hi!

I installed Pilot-DB 1.1b2 a few days ago and started developing a small DB
that should calculate the difference between days, the minimum difference,
the maximum nad the average.

So my records look something like this:

Date    	Diff	min	avg	max	sum	count
8.8.01 	30	30	30,00	30	30	1
7.9.01 	26	26	28,00	30	56	2
3.10.01	0	0	18,67	30	56	3

The last line is not meaningfull, but that's okay and I'm pleased with what
I could do so far. But now I wanted to add the average to the date in the
next record. This doesn't work because "date" just works for integers and
calculated fields are not integer :-(

Will there be a fix? 

I also downloaded the source in order to try and fix it on my own. But yet
I'm unable to compile anything since I can't figure out what I will have to
install on my Linux in order to compile for a palm pilot. Can anybody give me
some hints for that?

I'd also like to see some very useful functions in Pilot-DB like:
min arg1 arg2 (arg3...)   return the smallest arg
max ....
int arg return a true integer of any arg, not just of date and strings, but
also of floats.

Maybe I can add them when I can compile Pilot-DB!?
